| Sumario: | Due to the importance of nutritional status in all stages of life, particularly in some pathologies, this article seeks to assess the nutritional status of people with chronic kidney disease who attend the hemodialysis center in Montevideo in April, 2014. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was selected, in which 47 patients undergoing hemodialysis were analyzed using anthropometric and biochemical markers. It was found that 38% of them had some form of malnutrition: 30% were overweight and/or obese, and out of the 32% that were normally nourished, 60% had nutritional risk for central distribution of fat. Patients who spent more time on hemodialysis have more probability of becoming malnourished or undernourished. |
